A photo taken from space of a sprite - an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud. It was taken by an ISS astronaut. This is her tweet.

    There’s a planeswalker battle going on down there, someone tapping into lightning bolt to kill a bunch of creatures.

    So it’s some kind of high-altitude lightning, right? Wikipedia says something something plasma something.

      Yeah, Sprites are a form of upper atmospheric lightening which include other phenomena like jets and elves.

      I was stoked when I first learned about them. Like a new form of lightning was unlocked.
